Economic Criticality of Ontario’s Highway Infrastructure
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-02)Ontario is the economic center of Canada and hence generates a significant amount of freight activity. Moving forward, population growth coupled with growing and diverse trade strategies are likely to place new and increased ... -
Economic Evaluation of an Advanced Super Critical Oxy-Coal Power Plant with CO2 Capture
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-03)Today’s carbon constrained world with its increasing demand for cheap energy and a fossil fuel intensive fleet of power producers is making carbon capture and storage (CCS) desirable. Several CCS technologies are under ... -
Economic Model Predictive Control of Chemical Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-19)The objective of any chemical process is to transform raw materials into more valuable products subject to not only physical and environmental but also economic and safety constraints. To meet all these constraints in ... -
Economic Operation and Planning of Distribution System Sources
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-29)This thesis presents the findings of some research carried out pertaining to economic operation and planning distribution systems. An optimal capacitor switching algorithm is developed for distribution system based on ... -
Economic, Environmental, and Health Impact Analysis of Developing Hydrogen Economy in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-21)The greatest challenge to the development of a cleaner energy system is economic issues. However, if the environmental and health externalities of the current energy system is considered, other energy alternatives become ... -
Economical and Environmental Impacts of Emission Mitigation in Petroleum Refineries
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-21)Despite the large number of products produced by oil refineries, they are considered to be one of the main source of air contaminants including, sulphur oxides SOx, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides NOx and carbon oxide CO2, ... -
Economical and Environmentally Friendly Geocast Routing in Vehicular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)The volatile world economy has greatly affected fuel prices, while pollution and gas emissions are increasing to negatively impact global warming. Rising fuel costs have made drivers more concerned about how much of their ... -
Ecstatic Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-17)The chant shakes the crowd, uncorking the energy of the masquerade. This is our stomping ground. Nothing can hold us back. We display ourselves, we play ourselves. Uncontrolled bodies pelt rhythmically. Bouncing backsides, ... -
EDA Solutions for Double Patterning Lithography
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)Expanding the optical lithography to 32-nm node and beyond is impossible using existing single exposure systems. As such, double patterning lithography (DPL) is the most promising option to generate the required lithography ... -
Eddy Current Probes Design for Defect Detection in Metallic Parts Made by Additive Manufacturing Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-04)Non-destructive testing (NDT) is the method where an object or materials are being tested for any type of damage or features without harming the object during the process. There are different NDT techniques; in this ... -
Edible Films from Starch and Chitosan: Formulation and Gas Permeabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-12)Starch and chitosan films are both known to be effective barriers to gas permeation. Being naturally abundant, renewable, and biodegradable, starch and chitosan films have the potential to replace petroleum-based materials ... -
Effect of a Mobile Phone Intervention on Quitting Smoking in a Young Adult Population of Smokers: Randomized Controlled Trial
(JMIR, 2018-10-23)Background: Digital mobile technology presents a promising medium for reaching young adults with smoking cessation interventions because they are the heaviest users of this technology. Objective: The aim of this study ... -
Effect of alloy composition on hot deformation behavior of some Al-Mg-Si alloys
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)The hot flow stress behavior of three Al-Mg-Si alloys was determined by performing hot deformation compression tests on a Gleeble 3500 thermomechanical simulator over the temperature range 400 °C–550 °C and at strain rates ... -
Effect of Alloy Composition on the Hot Deformation Behavior, Extrudability and Mechanical Properties of AA6XXX Aluminum Alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-02)As automotive companies adjust to stricter environmental legislations, there is increased interest in the application of high specific strength alloys such as the AA6xxx aluminum alloys. In the near term, light weighting ... -
